What reading level is The Microscope book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Johnston describes, amongst many other British species, F. Membranacea, " a gauze-like incrus- tation on the frond of the sea-weed, spreading irregularly to the extent of several square inches. " Dr. Perceval Wright discovered on the western coast of Ireland a new genus of Alcyonidw, which he named after the well-known naturalist Mr. Harte, Hartea elegans, Plate IV. No. 86. This polype is solitary, the body cylindrical, and fixed by its base to the rock; it has eight ciliated tentacles, which a...re knobbed at their base and most freely displayed. It is a very beautif ul polyzoon of a clear white colour, and when fully expanded stands three-quarters of an inch high. 1 The fresh-water Polyzoa are peculiarly interesting ob- jects for microscopic observation, from the very beautiful manner in which they display their ciliated tentacula, set upon a crescentic, horseshoe-shaped "lophopore. " The arrangement of the latter appendage has been the cause of separating the fresh-water Polyzoa, from their marine allies, into a sub-class ; the former being named Hippocrepa (horseshoe-like^, and the latter Infundibulata (funnel- like).
